   </TASK>

The actions that caused that seem to be:

 - Set the MPTCP subflows limit to 0
 - Create an MPTCP endpoint with both the 'signal' and 'subflow' flags
 - Create a new MPTCP connection from a different address: an ADD_ADDR
   linked to the MPTCP endpoint will be sent ('signal' flag), but no
   subflows is initiated ('subflow' flag)
 - Remove the MPTCP endpoint

In this case, msk->pm.local_addr_used has been kept to 0 -- because no
subflows have been created -- but the corresponding bit in
msk->pm.id_avail_bitmap has been cleared when the ADD_ADDR has been
sent. This later causes a splat when removing the MPTCP endpoint because
msk->pm.local_addr_used has been kept to 0.

Now, if an endpoint has both the signal and subflow flags, but it is not
possible to create subflows because of the limits or the c-flag case,
then the local endpoint counter is still incremented: the endpoint is
used at the end. This avoids issues later when removing the endpoint and
calling __mark_subflow_endp_available(), which expects
msk->pm.local_addr_used to have been previously incremented if the
endpoint was marked as used according to msk->pm.id_avail_bitmap.

Note that signal_and_subflow variable is reset to false when the limits
and the c-flag case allows subflows creation. Also, local_addr_used is
only incremented for non ID0 subflows.
